Accuracy from a rest, best 3 of 5 in a group
Does it burn clean/leave lots of residue?
Felt recol, hot, mild, low recoil etc.

QC: consistent ignition, case deformities etc.
Does it feed well?
Velocities
Projectile expansion etc.

Fair enough, the basics are always a great start.

If anybody's feeling generous, I did just add a cheap chrono to my Amazon Wish List over on the left... ;)

Nice wishlist.

If you Still want a S&W HRT Boot knife, find me on face book, I commented there about this ammo post too. I have one you can have. Just send me your address.

Rifle rounds or handgun rounds?

If you want to do something original, I'd like to see someone get a quality decibel meter and test various muzzle devices. Just a thought :)

JD- the boot knife is on there for nostalgic reasons, I had one overseas, and it long since disappeared. I may take you up on that offer.

James- Umm... Yes. Shotgun too maybe. Decibels would be fun to see, can't imagine those are cheap devices though...

I keep getting asked about the cheap 7.62x39 and .223 ammo. Mostly Wolf, Bear, Prvi Partisan, S&B and the like. While I've shot S&B and Wolf there's a lot of inexpensive shooty and training ammo out there with potential for the range bag. I'll even help with either a donation or a review.

I have run a crap-load of Wolf .223 through my ARs, and have little to complain about there. Perfectly fine practice ammo.
